How could an astute man like Hyson not see Shui Xian's thoughts? Shui Xian might be a businessman who was used to hiding his emotions and thoughts well but Hyson was also Hyson. If he could read the silence of people, how could he not read someone's thoughts? So, it was really not a surprise that he managed to see Shui Xian's thoughts well.
"Xian Ge, are you feeling bad for me again?"
Shui Xian was stunned to hear his question.
"Don't wear such an expression," added Hyson. "You didn't hurt me in any possible way."
Shui Xian offered him a small smile and nodded his head. "I almost forgot to mention that wedding procession actually came as a blessing for me. My wife actually agreed to hold a grand wedding like that."
Hyson's eyes widened up in surprise and then he looked at Shui Xian meaningfully before saying, "You're really capable. I suddenly feel like my admiration for you before hadn't been enough."
Shui Xian pursed his lips not knowing how to respond to this praise from Hyson but from his words, he could tell that it wasn't a small foot to make Raelle agree to a grand wedding. Inwardly, he was feeling complacent. He was truly capable, there was no doubt eh!
"Why didn't you mention it before?" inquired Hyson. "When do you plan to get married in a grand way? I'll have to make some arrangements. I'll be the only bridesman there!"
"I am the bride's man!" retorted Shui Xian.

Shui Xian's eyes twitched at Hyson's explanation, "There is no such thing as a bridesman! If you want to stand by your best friend's side, wear a dress!"
Hyson actually went on thinking deeply about this suggestion.
Shui Xian's brows quirked up, "Don't tell me you're really considering my suggestion."
Hyson chuckled at him, "No way! I was thinking that if you're holding a traditional wedding, there won't be any need for bridesmaids."
Shui Xian also thought of this and nodded his head.
Feeling an itch, Hyson asked, "By the way, what did Ellie get for me?"
Shui Xian looked at his curious cat look and his lips made an arc, "She wanted to bring you some roasted duck from there."
"Roasted duck?" Hyson licked his lips, "Did you bring it?"
"No," answered Shui Xian as he looked at his eager look.
Hyson's face sank, "What do you mean? No roasted duck for me? How can you forget my souvenir!"
"Roasted duck couldn't be considered a souvenir," said Shui Xian.
Hyson shook his head in disagreement, "That's so not true. Do you know what's the real essence of traveling? It's food! The food that is special to that place is priceless!"
"I'll buy you a roasted duck from here," Shui Xian felt helpless. No wonder that Raelle suggested bringing roasted duck for Hyson. His enthusiasm for food was really striking. And then he claimed that he wasn't really a foodie.
But then again, Shui Xian thought back and realized that Hyson wasn't actually a foodie. He was a food enthusiast who wanted to try everything . But he always ate moderately.
"That won't be the same, Ge!" Hyson pouted and stood up. "I'm going now."
"Don't go out with such a face," said Shui Xian. "People might think I bullied you in here."
Hyson turned back to give him a look of grievance as he claimed, "Well, you did bully me. You didn't bring me a simple roasted duck."
Shui Xian watched him leaving and suddenly burst out laughing. This best friend of his wife was truly one of a kind. He really amused him to no end.
When Hyson walked out to the lounge, he found the rest of his group mates waiting for him. He thought all of them would have left with their managers but they were still waiting for him. He actually felt touched by this gesture.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Fai, what happened to you?" asked Lin Zhen when he noticed Hyson's depressed look. He thought Hyson would be over the moon. After all, he had already figured out that Shui Xian and Hyson were somehow connected. Since the last time Hyson invited them for dinner, they actually had dinner with Shui Xian's father. How could Hyson not know the Shui son when he was so close to the Shui father?
"I just saw my duck flying away right before my eyes," answered Hyson with a sigh making everyone laugh at him. But Hyson felt depressed, he really felt like his duck just flew away.
"Why did Mr. Shui ask you to stay behind?" inquired Fang Yiwen. "Nothing is wrong, right?"
Hyson shook his head, "Nothing is wrong. Just wanted to confirm that whether I really want to continue the movie that I signed."
"What did you say?" asked Huang Shuyi showing rare interest.
"I do want to do it," answered Hyson. "Even if I don't want to, I have given my word. I can't renege." He took a pause and looked at all of them, "Instead, I should be asking you all. How are you all feeling?"
"I have a very good feeling about this," Fang Yiwen took the lead to say out his mind honestly.
Pei Zi Hong patted Fang Yiwen's shoulder and stated, "Well, we have Master Xian as a big boss now. It's already a big reassurance for our future."
"I'm not clear about the status of our boss," was Fang Yiwen's response who never took interest in rich people and their affairs. It was normal that he didn't know about Shui Xian at all.
"Just which hole have you been living in?" asked Pei Zi Hong in disdain.
"I can't tell you that," said Fang Yiwen. "It's a secret."
"Both of you," began Lin Zhen. "That's enough for now. We have important matters at hand for now.." Lin Zhen also understood that it was not right to talk too much about their new boss.
